Seeing what is around me

I walked Sarah to the school bus today. She rides on a giant bus. I guess that's what the school has. I'm sure they don't fill the bus! But I saw Sarah's new best friend. She is a pretty blond girl named Michelle. So sweet! Thank God she has a good friend! As we were walking to the bus I noticed all the beautiful plants in the area. And I also saw a very cool gate. It looked Asian. I'll have to take a picture of it when I find my camera. I liked the gate so much, I'm wondering if we couldn't build some gates like it? I'll probably go back to Leimen to keep working on the old house. We need to paint the boy's old bedroom. It's a mess! They used markers on the walls. It might be easier to just wallpaper over it? I took a look at the other houses on the market. There are nicer houses for the same price, but they are not located so well. The few houses for sale in our area are not as nice, or cost much more. But I start to get afraid when I see what is out there. When I think of the house we have moved to, I just have to believe God's hand is in this. And that means He will not fail to meet all our needs. So I will keep doing all I can to clean and renovate the house in Leimen. It is a nice house for a fair price. I hope there will be one buyer who is blessed in Leimen! It can be the answer to one families prayers.

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

The Opel Agilia

I think I don't want to spend the money for the VW New Beetle. It's a very cute and safe car, but cost about 17,000Euros new. I can find it for 13,000Euros (this is the most basic model) but that's more then I would want to spend. I don't really drive that much. I'm pretty cheep at heart. I need real value for my money. I keep thinking we really should take advantage of the money Germany is offering to trade old cars in for 2500Euros towards a new car. If I buy a car that's around 10,000 Euros, then the Government is actually going to pay 25% of the cost of that car. That's really a very good deal. Since I know I will need a new car in the near future, I feel I should get a new 10,000 Euro car. The Opel Agilia is around 9,900 Euros. It's got 5 doors, and room for 5. It is pretty safe, and comes with a 6 year warranty. I would not call it my dream car, but I could easily afford it. I'm trying to be wise here. There are other cars in thi
